*Independence Day*

After church Sunday morning, we drove into D.C.. It was an experience with all the people. I've never been with so many people in my life! We sat in the mall directly in front of the Washington Monument. We got a perfect spot and by that night there was not a single open spot on the ground. Walking to the bathrooms was quite a challenge! You couldn't help but step over people and on their blankets or whatever they were sitting on.

The Old Navy family...they could be models for ON:).

This little girl is walking EVERYWHERE! She may only get a couple steps in before she falls down, but she always gets right back up and tries again.

I painted Suzanna and Ella's toes for the 4th.

I have LOTS of firework pictures, but I'll only post a few. I seriously loved taking pictures of these fireworks! They looked like they were coming out of the Washington Monument.


They had some huge fireworks that appeared to be overtaking the Monument.
So, when we were leaving here the other night, it was pretty crazy with all the people. The crowd was amazing and we were all sweaty when we got to the car cause of being completely surrounded by humans. Susan and I had some really good laughs though. Tj and Susan were pushing strollers and I was pulling the cooler. People were all trying to move in front of you or behind you so when my body would pass they would automatically start walking and not see the cooler. It was constantly running over peoples feet and the things they had to say about it were not very pleasant! It had Susan and I just dying laughing though. I couldn't watch every ones toes for them so it was either get mad at the people or just laugh and we chose the latter:). It was kinda' cool though cause it was like people had totally taken over the road and anywhere you could walk. It was quite an experience, but a lot of fun!
